OS wg team-

Here is *another* survey, asking for your help to inform policy makers of our concerns about regulation of open source. It is fairly different from the one Romain shared from the Linux Foundation, in that it is specifically concerned about impacts to the DNS. This was already shared with the DNS working group, but we are cross-posting to open source as well.

Some of you use open source DNS implementations every day. Please take a few minutes to share any positive or negative impacts of regulation you anticipate on the infrastructure you support.

---- ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory Committee [1] is attempting to document the operational reliance on Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in the Internet’s domain name infrastructure to inform policy discussions regarding the security of software and critical infrastructure. Our work aims aim to clear up misinformed assumptions by regulators and policy makers that may threaten the FOSS development and supply model, impacting operators of the Internet’s domain and routing systems. Our report will be published on the ICANN website [2], with a target publication date in June. The survey will be closed for new submissions at the end of February. [1] https://www.icann.org/en/ssac [2] https://www.icann.org/en/ssac/publications # What is SSAC? The Security and Stability Advisory Committee advises the ICANN community and ICANN Board on security and integrity matters related to Internet naming and address systems. We perform ongoing threat assessment and risk analysis to assess principal threats to stability and security of these systems. SSAC publications are available from https://www.icann.org/en/ssac/publications # Anonymous? We use the European Commission's EUsurvey tool, configured not to log IP addresses or other information with the potential to identify you. Your (anonymous) comments may be reprinted as entered in the report, if there is personally identifying information / personal data included in your comments, we will edit that from your remarks. -- Vicky Risk

Colleagues, 

Something I spotted that could be of interest to this group: 

FYI, the Open Source Security Foundation, LF Europe, and LF Research are fielding a survey to measure awareness about the recently adopted EU Cyber Resilience Act on a worldwide scale. The survey should take between 5 and 10 minutes, and closes at the end of this week with the goal being to publish the survey data and related report by mid-March.

All best
